Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader by Anne Fadiman

5.0

This is a delicious little book. I was so sad when I was done. It's a series of short essays about books (and life) written by a book lover who may be the only person I know who loves books more than me. The writing was funny and entertaining and made me feel that my obsession with books is perfectly normal. I love to read them, smell them, look at them, sort them, write in them, write about them, collect them, talk about them, and read them to other people. It's nice to know that someone else in the world feels the same way. The author is definitely a kindred spirit (to borrow the words of Anne of Green Gables).
